So tonight I was discussing with Dallin the fact that his birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and that means that we need to start thinking about preparing a package and letter for his birthmom. I told him that I thought he was old enough this year to write a letter of his own, and that he could tell or ask her anything he wants to. He immediately told me, "I want to ask her how she got a baby." I tried to clarify: "Do you mean that you want to know how she got a baby in her belly?" "Yeah," he replied.
Wow, talk about starting things off with a bang! Can I hope that if I don't mention this letter for another few weeks, he'll forget all about his burning question and come up with something a bit more benign?

I like Shanna's explanation(that doesn't look spelled right...):)
I did realize afterward that maybe it's a sign that Dallin is wanting to know more about where babies come from. I'll have to be more on my toes and look for opportunities to have those conversations. Gosh, time goes by fast! I thought I had a few more years before I had to deal with that.
